Born with it, but power can always be improved through strength training/plyos etc.

^^^ size wont automatically mean you can punch hard. Punching hard is the whole body moving as one to generate force through the punch, sure he will hit harder then someone of the same skill whos lighter but not as someone who knows how to throw a proper punch, leg drive/pivot n shet.

What are you born with exactly? I hear born with it all the time but that doesn't mean anything to me, you aren't born swinging knockout punches

Vitali would begin walking Haye down after a few rounds and stop him late on or win on points. I like Haye, but he lacks stamina, has a suspect chin and is just too small for a heavyweight. He was the big guy at cruiserweight and could bully his opponents, but a Heavyweight he is always on the backfoot where he loses alot of his power and effectiveness.

Someone who knows what they are talking about.

I'm sure many body builders have relatively weak punches due to isolation training and being "muscle bound" aka slow and cumbersome.

Punching is a fluid motion and takes the whole body.

I'm sure little guys like Pacquiao generate more force on a punch than your average 200+ lb weightlifter.

lmfao, punching power is a matter of your abs, glutes, timing, and most importantly where the strike lands. He could definitely break my arm in an arm wrestling contest, doesn't say **** about his punching power through.

you guys forget the difference between more force, and more force quickly. If you have a huge hand, and huge build, you're going to lay down the power no matter what. It's a matter of force + mass

You can't necessarily train your bone density, or size, of your fist which will increase the power of a punch
but you can train the mass of the rest of your body, and the force production (punch is entire body)

also a knockout really doesn't take thatm uch power, it's more of a hit the right spot thing.. unless it's straight brutal force impact concussing them

As I said above, those 3 names I mentioned above are always landing accurate shots, yet their KO percentage at a high level is low. And also they get most of their KO's in late rounds when their opponents get tired, drop their gloves and become easy targets, rather than one hit quitters in early rounds.
